[DebianGIS-dev] Bug#579987: FTBFS when python-setuptools is installed

[Jeroen Dekkers]

Package: libgdal1-1.6.0
Version: 1.6.3-3+b2
Severity: normal

GDAL fails to build when python-setuptools is installed. When I
uninstall python-setuptools it builds fine. The error I get is:

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/jeroen/src/debian/gdal-1.6.3/swig/python'
/usr/bin/python2.6 setup.py install
numpy include /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/numpy/core/include
setup.py:78: DeprecationWarning: The popen2 module is deprecated.  Use the subprocess module.
  import popen2
running install
error: can't create or remove files in install directory

The following error occurred while trying to add or remove files in the
installation directory:

    [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/test-easy-install-13219.write-test'

The installation directory you specified (via --install-dir, --prefix, or
the distutils default setting) was:

    /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/

Perhaps your account does not have write access to this directory?  If the
installation directory is a system-owned directory, you may need to sign in
as the administrator or "root" account.  If you do not have administrative
access to this machine, you may wish to choose a different installation
directory, preferably one that is listed in your PYTHONPATH environment
variable.

For information on other options, you may wish to consult the
documentation at:
  
  http://peak.telecommunity.com/EasyInstall.html

Please make the appropriate changes for your system and try again.
